FOOTNOTES
* New Partner, Howard H. Hankins
(Los Angeles), was unable to be pres­ent
when the other new partners were
photographed in groups. His biograph­ical
sketch appears on page 5.
* Clayton Bullock of the Executive Of­fice,
whose work with utility clients took
him to the annual meeting of Florida
Power & Light in Miami in May, re­ports
that McGregor Smith, the Chair­man
of the Board, began the meeting
this year without his traditional har­monica
solo. A stockholder interrupted
the meeting to ask about the omission.
Mr. Smith did have his harmonica in
his pocket —so out it came, and he pro­ceeded
to serenade the stockholders
with You Are My Sunshine, represent­ing
the Company's "Sunshine Service"
to its customers.
* Like Old Glory in the dawn's early
light, our lofty Seattle client still stands.
After the April 29 earthquake, the Space
Needle, symbol of the World's Fair,
rocked for ten minutes, but a few bro­ken
bottles in the restaurant was the
only damage.
Fortunately there were no injuries in
the H&S office, though to those who
were there the 30-second quake seemed
to last an hour. The shock occurred at
8:28 a.m., and most of those who were
on their way to work scarcely noticed it.
At home, however, some of them
were in for surprises and repairs. Dam­age
ranged from potted plants on the
floor, hot water running, and chimney
soot on new furnishings, to fireplace
bricks on the hearth, broken china, and
in one case an unexpected terrace on
the lawn where the ground dropped at
the earthquake's fault line.

* Who is Jim Delaney? Motel guests
thought he might be an entertainer, a
politician, a sportsman, or a visitor from
the Emerald Isle. A traveling Irishman
was the closest guess—Jim Delaney is a
senior accountant in our Cleveland Of­fice
who was staying with his assistants
at the Erie, Pennsylvania motel.
Last year, as many as twelve of our
staff stayed there over a period of three
months on an engagement, and the
Holiday Inn appreciated the patronage.
They were invited to a pre-Christmas
party and were generally made wel­come
in their "home away from home."
This year, the management planned
a limelight greeting. The reservations
are usually made in Jim's name, so he
understood the welcome. But his assist­ants
and the other guests remained baf­fled
by his fame.
